there’s a couple chairs I’ve seen where they’re designed for a different style of sitting, stuff coming from medical and similar worlds. I’m not familiar enough with them to have picked a specific example, but I’ve seen a couple of baytypes pick these up because someone else had one

I behold the paperclip calculator, and tremble in fear

the only revolutions these people are capable of is spinning their office chairs

.....when it's one on a swivel instead of some fixed-position ergo thing they acquired after reading a thotleader blogpost

I regret to inform you that the promptfans have a new fucked up way to thotpost: transcript below

transcriptscreenshot from twitter. the search bar has the following search terms in it: "BC" "before claude" a tweet body by @Jason_Dean reads: "I was born in 23 BC (Before"

Other than that, I find this whole thing mostly very saddening. Not because some company used my diagram. As I said, it's been everywhere for 15 years and I've always been fine with that. What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own.

So take your codebase, compress it as a zip at normal compression level, and then think how large the output problem space is, shrink it down quadratically, and you have a good estimate of how much ctx you need for LLMs to solve the hardest problems in your codebase at any given point during token generation

wat

I can see what they're going for but that seems .... wildly guess-y?

Something like “innovations in parasitic enclosure” may perhaps be a phrase that can give a handle on it, yeah

ime much like the SAFe diagrams, this diagram is all over a certain type of “this is how your corporation should be developing software” thotleader posts

(although I imagine the lag 2~3y all those heads have pivoted to promptpraise)

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 4 points 3 days ago

I guess that doesn’t emphasise the “innovation” aspect much

okay I can't argue with that outcome

 

stumbled over this in my feed earlier, looks interesting

 

seen via this

might be a cool thing some here may enjoy contributing to

 

Just ran across this and figured I’d link to people, looks interesting

 

I forgot to post it here earlier but it's revision weekend!

 

in the spirit of this post, but from the other side

I have a shitdroid that I can't root because the vendor sucks, but google can go fuck themselves too. combined with that I haven't androided much for about a decade and know nothing about the current ecosystem.. I'm looking for good alternatives to a few things. free/foss preferred but I'm pragmatic over picky - if there's a good paid option I'm willing to consider it

immediate known requirements include contact sync, calendar (more business than personal but either works if it's good). maybe also other things I should know about?

judicuous preference to things that support open protocols and self-hosting (i.e. anything that has to use their service to operate - no go)

tell me about good apps! I know about syncthing and photosync

 

some of the sub’s friends are holding a conference although they’re still not totally comfortable to go public:

but buyers are warned that purchases will “require approval”

aww, the poor babies. even with literal nazis in the whitehouse they still feel uncomfortable to spout their weird shit

hopefully if this thing happens at all, someone documents the everliving hell out of every attendee

 

the precision and clarity are astounding

by the time the hilbert curves got there my mouth was hanging open, and it still gets better

 

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)

 

'cuz I definitely do

 

I will say I'm not much of a fan of mysqls but uhhhhh this seems bad

found this kicking around on one of the feeder sites a few days ago and only got to read it now

kinda neat. it's the sort of thing that you used to find quite a lot with keygens and other things prone to easter eggs, and that I don't really know of being as prevalent in more recent gaming and such
